    That wicket makes New Zealand strong favourites again...

    Pressure has done that. England were just being squeeze a bit for runs.

    A very unusual dismissal. Alice Capsey was looking to pull a long hop and it ends up on to her stumps instead.

    WICKET

    Capsey b M Kerr 22 (Eng 76-2)

    New Zealand's captain bags Alice Capsey!

    The legbreak bowler dismisses England's top-scorer from the first T20, bowling Capsey with a bit of a nothing delivery that the opener misses attempting a pull shot.

    The players will take drinks with the game in balance, one ball short of the half way mark.

    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    England are finding it easy to rotate to strike here. New Zealand need to find a way to turn those singles into dot balls. They need a wicket, more, though.

  8. Eng 74-1

    Jess Kerr returns with a change of ends.

    Her first over went for 15 - this is better, with six runs coming off it.

  9. WinViz has it 59-41 in New Zealand's favour against EnglandBBC Sport/CricViz

    WinViz is closing in but New Zealand are still favourites at this point.

    Shot of the day from Alice Capsey. This is a brilliant partnership from England as they look to take the game away from New Zealand.

  11. Eng 68-1

    Target 171

    Four more for Alice Capsey, guiding Nensi Patel's ball past a sprawling Melie Kerr at mid-off.

    This partnership is now worth 37.

  12. Eng 59-1

    Melie Kerr brings herself on for the first over out of the powerplay.

    Maia Bouchier brings up England's fifty immediately, sending a single to mid-on, and, having returned to the strike, hammers a swept four through mid-wicket.

  13. How's stat?!

    Jem Green
    CricViz data analyst

    England look for the singles and twos much more in the powerplay compared to New Zealand.

    In the past 12 months, England have scored 32% of their runs in the first six overs through ones and twos. New Zealand have scored just 22% of their tally in this manner.

  14. Eng 49-1

    Target 171

    Lea Tahuhu comes into attack to bowl the last over of the powerplay.

    Maia Bouchier whips her second legitimate delivery through fine leg for four - her first.

    Tahuhu's penultimate delivery beats the bat of Alice Capsey, as England reach the end of the powerplay just one run short of fifty.

  15. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    Alice Capsey with great timing, just opening the face. She batted so beautifully in the first T20 in Derby.

  16. Eng 41-1

    Target 171

    A first four for Alice Capsey!

    She times Bree Illing nicely through the covers, then follows up by guiding the ball down to deep third.

    Lea Tahuhu dives to retrieve the ball just short of the ropes - England's batters run three.

  17. Eng 32-1

    Maia Bouchier comes in at three and retains the strike from her second ball, hitting a single to mid-wicket.

    A good start from Nensi Patel, who came into the side today in place of Suzie Bates.

  18. Katey Martin
    Former New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    An arm ball and Sophia Dunkley tried to hit up and over but picked out Amelia Kerr. Dunkley gets out a lot in T20 cricket when she uses his feet.

    WICKET

    Dunkley c M Kerr b Patel 26 (Eng 31-1)

    Sophia Dunkley falls!

    The opener had started well, but she's dismissed from spinner Nensi Patel's fourth delivery.

    She chips to Melie Kerr in the covers, an easy catch for the New Zealand spinner.

  20. Katey Martin
    Former New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England's tactic is to go hard in the powerplay then manage the middle overs then go hard again at the death. So far they are doing a good job.
